Re: 'What's Up?' and the very worst songs ever
It's always been my least favourite track on ..Experienced.., well apart from "Red House", but fuck me these people do it justice.
"Thanks" to pcqgod for alerting me to its charms.
I think only Living Color could possibly "improve" it.
Pity JSJ isn't about any more, I'm sure this'd have him frothing.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Face it, the last Dexy's LP was a farrago too.

they sicken me in ways only The Clash and Jeff Lynne can. This is an outrage.

Girls in the video, each one of them sure people will think they're the "foxey" one. Black men in the video, adding "reality" to the Jimi cover. Garish awful '90s "sixties" ideas.
Love it!

Re: 'What's Up?' and the very worst songs ever
Oh, it's terrible.
Rowland's given way too much leeway, old-school bollocks about 'integrity' and so forth, middle-aged rockers will attribute these qualities to whatever bellowing shite the man puts out.
I did really like that soul revue thing they did a couple of years back, mind. That was fucking ace.

Middle aged Rockers? Who's that.
The album is a bit hit n miss. The Irish songs are great. Sang well and bring back memories of them being played in the house when I was wee. Would've preferred a full album of that stuff.
Yomp is just on his usual grumpy old bear routine.

The canonisation really began with Kevin Pearce's (superb) "Something Beginning With O". Rowland's done nothing since "Don't Stand Me Down" to justify it.
Having said that I'd love to be proved wrong, when he burned it was fucking brightly.

Never heard of it or him. Had to google it. I loved the last album.

Re: 'What's Up?' and the very worst songs ever
this is all over the damn radio here these days, and for some reason it drives me into a white-hot RAGE
it's SO bad, and what's worse I've read a few people who should know better saying good things about it.
Cloying, inept, LAME anti-music for pre-teens

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Well, that makes me hate it less.
Slightly less.
Dammit, Hef!

Hey man hate it all you like I wasn't out to guilt trip you! It was a surprise to me that I could even find a modern pop song that made me feel like that!

I'd forgotten about her until I saw this hellish nonsense on the TOTP rerun a couple of nights ago. Shocking.
